Our Philosophy
In a commercial real estate negotiation, there is typically an imbalance of knowledge, and, therefore, leverage. Such a negotiation typically pits the company looking for commercial space against someone whose business it is to know such conditions quite well (the owner, or the owner's agent). The person who re-establishes a position of parity is the company's broker. Companies who use a broker to lease or purchase a building push the leverage to their side of the table.
As you consider this information, you should also be aware that the broker fees, like all transaction costs, are built into a market deal. What this means is that the prevailing market will determine the band within which your leasehold or purchase costs will fall, whether or not you utilize the services of a broker. Going at it alone means not only that you will not save the fee, since it is built into the rent or purchase price for the building, but that the landlord gets the benefit of negotiating against a company who does not have the advantage of complete market knowledge. It is a formula for a less-than-optimal leasehold or purchase and is the major reason that the overwhelming percentage of commercial leases or purchases are those in which there is a broker on the company's side.
